Confusing things in Russia's 2025 budget law
Russia's public budget statements insist they will hit their 2025 budget targets. Public data seem to suggest that they are about 4 trillion roubles off target.

It’s heavily frustrating to me that we can’t as a society seem to think two things at once. Lockdowns were an essential response to the pandemic AND highly damaging. The vaccine programme saved millions of lives AND caused damage to a group of people.
It's a space which badly needs more 'could we have done this any better? What social damage is it still actively causing? What social damage did it cause that we are dealing with poorly?' and has so much 'here is a Trojan Horse for my view that germ theory does not work'.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Who currently pays for social care? Who should pay?

And how to 'caps' and thresholds change this?

Ultimately, there's no such thing as free lunch.

Is there really a problem with social care?
Or do people just want a free lunch?

Must read analysis from 2024 👇

Our #QualityWatch project with the Health Foundation found that younger people and people of minority ethnicities have more visits to a GP before a cancer diagnosis and targets for early diagnosis are being missed.

So today, Gazprom is heading for another devaluation, currently minus 1.5%. Expanding the current trend, in about 50 days a share in gazprom will hit the 10 rubles mark. That will hit pension funds, banks and the russian state as co-owner so hard, there will be no coming back from that.

Why Syria Matters to the Kremlin
It is not just a military outpost. It is a cornerstone of Russia’s claim to great-power status.

You won’t see a better quality debate in parliament than this. Assisted dying bringing out the intelligent, respectful side of politics that we could probably do with a lot more of.

Some great speeches from doctors in the debate today. Shows the value of proper professional representation in parliament. We could do with far more of it from working class professions as well.

Disappointing 2-0 defeat at Crewe yesterday. It’s not an aesthetically pleasing stadium so have two pictures of the railway station instead.

Also, not aesthetically pleasing.

Atalanta 6-1 Hellas Verona

Finally coming to terms with one of the worst defeats I’ve seen live.

Funnily enough, all of us in the away sector were in fine spirits. 5-0 after 34 minutes gives you the excuse to drink more and party.

Sometimes you just have to be there!

Anyone else had the same?
